Bug Description

kirkland in #ubuntu-installer said that testdrive is supposed to automatically adjust the amount it allocates for a vm based on amount of system memory.

I'm running an up to date 11.04 ubuntu. testdrive is testdrive-cli Version: 3.13-0ubuntu1

It did not automatically change the memory and instead defaulted to 384MB.

Andres, you can probably bang out a quick fix for this, right?

Hi guys. Can you please check that /etc/testdriverc is *not* setting the mem
by deafult as I believe that's the issue of the autodetection failing

/etc/testdriverc is setting the mem, but this is the default /etc/testdriverc that shipped with the package. Maybe that is the bug?

Hi Jay,

Yes that's the bug. I have committed the fix in trunk and will be released soon... though it is a trivial fix.

Cheers
